is always hopeful, radiant, adventurous, trusting, not condemnatory. These are the people who become poets, painters, musicians.
If an N type person becomes a saint, then there is a real saint. If a T type person becomes a saint, there is a false saint, a pseudo-saint. If an N type person becomes a father, then there is a real father. If an N type person becomes a mother, there is real mothering. A T type is a pseudo father and a pseudo mother. That is just a trick to exploit the child, to torture, to dominate, possess and to crush the child, to feel powerful by crushing the child. The T type is in the majority, so you may be right that you are carrying a heritage everybody is. But once you become a,ware, there is not much of a problem. You can travel from T to N very easily.
A few things to remember. If you feel lazy, don't call it laziness. Listen to your nature; maybe that's what fits you. That's what I call a reasonable man. What can you do? If laziness comes to you, then that's what you have to do. Who are you to decide against it? And how can you win against it? Even in your fight you will be lazy. Who is going to win? You will be constantly defeated, and then you will feel unnecessarily miserable.
Be realistic. Listen to your own being. Everybody has his own pace. A few people are very active, rushing; nothing is wrong in it. If they feel good in it, it is good for them.
Just a few nights ago one person was saying that he is always rushing. If he has a chance, he likes to run rather than walk. He jumps up stairs, two, three steps together. His wife goes on telling him to drop his restlessness, so his wife has created a guilt in him -- that he is doing something wrong. But I saw that the man is perfectly healthy and happy, so I said, 'Don't listen to your wife. If you are feeling good, then run; nothing is wrong in it. It is your natural pace.'
He said, 'There is my daughter who is very lazy. She is just the opposite to me, and my wife is against her also because she takes so much time in just doing small things.' Now this wife must be a T personality.
